Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ongoing global energy transition is reshaping the structure and dynamics of modern economies. Shifts toward decarbonization, electrification, and digitalization are transforming energy markets, investment flows, and financial systems at both national and international levels. These transformations generate new opportunities for efficiency and innovation while also creating systemic risks and policy challenges. Understanding the evolving interaction between energy economics, financial markets, and policy instruments is crucial for designing sustainable, resilient, and inclusive energy systems.
This Energies Special Issue aims to advance knowledge on the economic and financial mechanisms driving the global energy transition. It seeks contributions that combine theoretical modeling, empirical analysis, and policy evaluation to explain how market behavior, financial innovation, and regulatory design influence the development of energy systems and the allocation of capital in a low-carbon economy.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Energy market structures, price formation, and volatility under transition conditions;
- Financing models and investment behavior in renewable and low-carbon technologies;
- Role of financial institutions and markets in facilitating decarbonization;
- Carbon pricing, trading mechanisms, and their macroeconomic impacts;
- Energy transition risks and financial stability;
- Integration of sustainable finance instruments into energy policy frameworks;
- Cross-border capital flows and energy security implications;
- Quantitative and econometric modeling of energy–finance interactions;
- Behavioral and institutional aspects of energy investment decisions;
- Policy coordination for sustainable energy and fiscal reforms.
